Va32h: "In light of a request for topics we can agree on - can we
agree that there was a heck of a lot of innuendo in this book?

"Ooh Harry, you look a lot tastier than Crabbe and Goyle."

"Twelve Fail Safe Ways to Charm Witches."

The first one is probably mostly British idiom. People may not realize
what it sounds like who are used to it.

_Twelve Fail Safe Ways to Charm Witches_ seems a mild innuendo to me,
maybe mostly about getting a date, but at least it's not as bad as
some of the books I see advertised in the back of magazines. ;)

Va32h: "Endless jokes about wands, wand lengths, and how men feel
about the size of their wands."

Sigh, and all I keep hearing is that it's all about the magic. 

Va32h: "Come here Ron, so I can do you."

That's a bit of a stretch. My daughters say that to me when they're
going to comb my hair. They just don't call me Ron.

Va32h: "Bella and Voldemort talking of highest pleasures."

"I found most of it amusing (Voldie and Bella the disgusting exception)."

That's an image I don't need either, but you know there'll be a
drawing posted on the Internet in a matter of weeks, if it's not out
there already.

You can get innuendo out of picking carrots if you want. JKR isn't
afraid of slightly naughty stuff - if she chose, she'd be great at it.
In a broader sense, JKR is wonderful at inserting a little bit here
and there to lighten the atmosphere just when it's needed. I admire
writing that has humor on more than one level, and subtle risqué stuff
is the funniest.
